There’re not two kinds of people in the world: those who prefer to do a battement tendu from first position, or those who choose to do it from fifth. There’re two kinds of people in the world: those who move their toes inwards -towards their body center- as doing battement tendu to the front, and those who carry their working leg outwards as pointing their foot.

There’re not two kinds of people in the world: those who do battement tendu to the side keeping their toes in line with their supporting leg, or those who point their tendu side slightly ahead of their supporting leg. There’re two kinds of people in the world: those who unreasonably rig their toes up when doing tendu to the back, and those who point properly the entire foot.

There’re not two kinds of people in the world; those who spend four counts to extend their battement tendu, or those who prefer to get there in one count and stay out with their foot perfectly pointed. There’re two kinds of people in the world: those who know that the center of the body is where they put the tendu front, and those who extend their leg, for some unexplicable reason, in line with their neighbor’s shoulder.

There’re not two kinds of people in the world: those who believe that the battement tendu should be short, or those who prefer a long-distance movement, as a path through the meadow. There’re two kinds of people in the world: those who use battement tendu for living, and those who spend their entire live in doing it perfectly well.
